Attending a meeting arranged at the Jaffna Pubilc Library, local district governors briefed Pillay on the resettlement, rehabilitation and development carried out in the war torn provinces since 2009.
The briefing given to Pillay was in stark contrast with the demonstrations that occurred outside the library as she spoke to government officials.

We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
